THE STATE OF PARTIES.
THE STATE OF PARTIES. The political position is becoming more defined in one respect, Lord Palmerston and Lord John ltus- tell have coaleseetl,-the, former nohle lord retaining hi. position as leader of the Liberal party in the Commons, in which character lie gives the Parlia- mentary dinner on the 5th of June. The Queen's Speech will be delivered on the 7th. An amend- ment, declaring that Ministers do not possess the confidenee of the House, will be moved to the Ad- dress and it may be carried by a narrow majority though if honour and honesty influence the votes, it must be negatived. Great efforts are making to attach the" independant Radicals" to the coalesced Whi^9. If these effirU are successful, the Ministers 'will be defeated. But. should the followers of Mr. bright rally round the standard of Lord Palmerston I -after their repeated and emphatic denunciation of his Lordship's principles and practice—and their angry protests agaiiisi. his assuming the post 01: or being considered the Liberal leader,—some of which are scarcely a fortnight old-it will be another proof of the want of honest sincerity in our public men. Great efforts are making to persuade the public, that the Roman Catholics and the Ministers have entered into an alliance, because the voters of that class have in some instances supported Ministerial candidates, in opposition to those who have issued from the Liberal camp. There is no truth whatever in such an alliance-nor has there been any nego- ciatin or baraining, or anything of the kind—no renewal of the Lichfield House compact, as we see it ttated in the I Saturday Review' of the 23rd,-The real truth is, that the Roman Catholic voters have acted from instructions from their head quarters, but those instructions did not tell the voters of that clasi indiscriminately to support the Tories. But they were advised to vote for Conservatives where they were hard run by Liberals—because, at Roman Catholic head quarters, it is considered desirable to equalize the Protestant representatives, more nearly between the Liberals and Conservatives, in order that the Roman Catholic members of the House of Com- mons may lio.d the balance, and obtain their own terms. This we learn from a Roman Ca holic source, and our readers may rely upon it, that the report of an alliance between her Majesty's Government and Ðr. Wiseman is a mere canard. The report of the Austrian sympathies of the Government is equally un- founded. Those sympathies are for the cause of truth and of justice, on whichever side it is to be found and depend upon it, Lord Derby and his colleagues will neither endanger the honour nor the interests of England by their conduct. We believe that the Ministers have every con fi- dence in the goodness of theii-ciuse, and the strength of their supporters, and expect to defeat the move- ment against them. We know what they have to contend against, and are not sanguine; but they have our hearty good wishes for their triumph, ns we lielteve a change of ministry at this period, would be a great misfortune alike for England and for Europe.
ELECTIONEERING. |
ELECTIONEERING. Is it not a matter for regret, tliit the exercise of what all true Bdtons are taught. to cOllsider one of their greatest privileges, should introduce so much of ran- cour and ill-will iuto every constituency ? TM scenes we have lately gone through in thii neigh bou i litiod, and the words which continue to be spoken, the tetters which still are written, the salutations which -ire not given, &c., &c., prove inconlestilly that the electoral franchise is not always a hooii ti) its possessors. A thoughtful man sees much of evil in all this; a Christian man finds great pain in regarding such matters. But can either suggest a remeHy ? Not easily. t-hny do not care for the miserable partisanship called politics and are glad to assist in returning to Parliament some influential neighbour, who aspires to that honour. Many more take the advice of their landlord, or of other (to them) important personages, and vote accordingly. L_ From this state of doubt, wtven is me natural COil- øeqneuee in the voter's mind, of the political ambig- uity now so prevalent in high quarters, has arisen much ot that ill-will, which results from the e ideuvours to persuade made by each partv, and the very natural disappointment of the unsuccessful. As for the importance of the franchise,-it is great indeed in theory; but stubborn facts show that it be- oomes a mere instrument for expressing private and personal feelings between voters and candidates, far oftener than it is used with a lrgh sense of electoral honour or duty. A house divided against itself cannot stand. The selfishness which alone has originated the numerous divisions in the Liberal party ;—a glorious instance of it being the immediate cause of the late general election and general turmOIl-will. as long as it has its swav, prevent any real good being done by any members of that party, for unsupported in force they cannot hope to stand a fight. These are times when for the welfare of this country, serious thought and prompt action are become necessary, and a government must be well- established in the House of Commons to have the moans of acting wisely for us all. The souabbles oj toinor sub-divisions lIIust cease, and they must coalesce in order to gain strength but is human selfishness so easy to manage? Principle has too long been made lubsenicnt to self-interest for this. The men whom "punch" so well represented as the supporter* ot the working man (!) but use that much-talked-of individual as a support for their individual selves. The news- papers, whose circulation is songht to be extended In scurrilous and blackguard articles against their political opponents and all who, professing their own creed, dc not go with them in their pal,ticular weaknesses or meannesses, are too much impressed with their per sonal interests, to give way to any scheme of organiza- tion, which shall require a sacrifice of these. Under these circumstances, that party which i, tinccre and unselfish will triumph; and to them will be confided the reins of government at a very perilous epoch, for they alone are fit to undertake that charge. In the night of trouble, the light of genius appears to greater advantage; and possibly we may see some great hand upheld to guide us in these" ticklish times if so, it may happen tha' the nlIt duty 01 electors will be far simpler than it is how-will they support their leader or uotl and the matter may b easily set at rest without all the heart-burnings ot jealousy, the bad language, the riotous conduct, drunk- enness, and thousand other evils which so lately hav. been called up like so many hends, to distract the pr, g;,Css ('F'honesty and trutli.

THE WAR. I
THE WAR. At length we have an account of an engagement between the two armies which have been collecting in Italy; and upon whose movements so much anxiety has been fixed for the last month. They met on Friday last there was much and severe fighting, with heavy los on both sides; and al- though the French claim a victory, it seems to de- serve the character of a drawn battle rather than a decided triumph for either army. In the first part of the engagement, the Auplrianp had the advantage; but as the fight continued, the allies came up in greater numbers, and overpowered their enemy, who retreated. At the same time it must be admitted, that on the next day the Austrians re-crossed the J'o; the result must be regarded as in favour of the French and Sardinians. On the other hand, an Austrian bulletin, published on Tuesday, states, that further north, the Sardo-French troops, which had crossed the river Sesia, en route to Lombardy, had retreated to the west hank of that river; and that at liorgo Vercelli, near the Sesia, a Piedmontese squa- dron of dragoons had been put to flight, by an Aus- trian reconnoitring party The enggement of ?he 20:h wiit dissipate the notions of a speedy and effectual settlement of the conflict in Italy, bv the defeat ofthe Austrians, which were entertained by many persons out of France, and were the day-dreams of thousands in that coun- try, when they silw their Zouaves and Chasseurs de Vincennes set out for Italy. When the numbers were pretty fairly matched on that day, the Austrians proved themselves quite equal to their opponents.- l They first, drove the Piedmontese from Casteggio, a village to the north-east of Montebello, followed them to that town which is on the high road to Marengo and Alexandria, about 20 miles eastward of the latter, and drove both French and Piedmon- tese before them, after two hour's hard fighting in its etreets. Then half a battery of French artillery, and two more French regiments came up. The battle was renewed, and being out-numbered, the Austrians gave way, retreating to Casteggio in perfect order. The French followed, and made a desperate attempt to gain possession of that place. They were again repulsed, followed up to Montebello, and were, as near as possible crushed, when a fresh regiment of infantry, and one of cavalry, arrived, and changed the fortune of the day. After fighting some time pell-mell in Montebello, the Austrians again retired to Casteggio, and from thence to Stradella-their re- treat being unmolested. The next morning they crossed over to the northern bank of the Po, again entering Lombardy. The losses on hoth sides were great; but on that of the French the number of officers who fell va, preitly disproportioned to the number of rank and file put hvs de combat. This is attributed to the skill of the Tyrolean riflemen, of whom the French troops are said to stand in dread. While the con- test was raging, the Emperor of the French, who has made Alessandria his head quarters, was visiting Marengo, the scene of that severe battle, in which his uncle so nearly suffered defeat; the timely arrival of Decaix only turning the tide in his favour. As Xapoleon went to take the command-in-chief in Italy, some severe remarks are made on his not being with his army. If meant to affect his repute for courage, they are unjust. The Emperor never dis- played a want of that quality when its manifestation was demanded. The reports of a perfect understanding between Russia and France were revived this week and it is now said that the sense of the present agree- ment between the two powers is, that France is to have Belgium and the Rhine provinces, and Russia Constantinople." There must be two words, how- ever, to the completion of that bargain. Russia professes fairly, but if she really means to act dis- honestly, all Germany will be in arms, fighting for Fatherland." The spirit of enmity agaii.st France continues to be intense throughout Germany j and old King Jerome is reported to have said to a friend not many days ago, We are in 1813." His friend raised some objection, when Jerome replied, You are not old enough to know anything about it. I lived through it all-saw it all, and tell you we are in 1813 again." He may prove a true prophet.
NAPLES.
NAPLES. After enduring a severe illness, and lingering for months in a state, that must have been absolute tor- ture to the sufferer, the King of Naples died on Sunday last, and his crown has passed to his succes- sor the young Duke of Calabria. Few sovereigns have had to endure more obloquy than Ferdinand It., tin(I few have more entirely deserved it. Not merely despotic, but cruel, he has earned a name which none need envy. His subjects may rejoice at their deliverance from his sti-ay and their prayers must ascend to heaven, that their present ruler may riot be influenced by his example. The new king, Francis, by his ifrst wife, a daughter of the late Victor Emmanuel,of Sardinia. who died in 1834. is 24 years of age, has been educated under the priests, is reputed to have good intentions, and to be supported in them by the Queen. By giving a willing ear to the counsels of England, and yielding a constitutional government to his people, he may preserve his inheritance from revolution, and the grasp of the Piedmontese; but we have our fears.

TIIB NEW RECTOR OF 'II<I<TIIYE:Tbe Jh¡n arl Merthyr, rendered vacant by 11,? f the Yen. Archdeacon Cimpbt?ll to preside over this see,. has been by her Nl;ijeFti,, on ttie Rev. Jol)n Griffith, M.A., Vicar of Ab,td,,?. In making this recommen- dation to the Queen, Lord Derby hose?erei?d a Round jude'nent.TheViMrofAberdareisweHknownin North and South W.les. Of the propriety of this ap- pointment, Ave may be able to for.. ?.F"ot P?.i"n, from the ..tim.'ion by which he is held in the diocese of U<n<)tN. At-tK?tnubHc meeting held in the town of C?ditf'ome four weeks ago, and presided over b)theBishop.E. P. Richard" Esq., a leading gentle- man of the town, spoke thus of Mr. Griffith I he Vicar of Aberdare had made a kind of apology tortus over-zeal. Now, my LO.d, the V i, f A.berdare is 'he verj last man that should have done it. Mr Griffith is now present. If he were absent, I should express to thi- meeting what I know, and I believ. every body in this diocese knows of I will, however, siiii ven- ture to w»y this of him, even in his presence. And I am sure the clergy here will not think me invidious, or placing them in any inferior posiiioD, if I say, that there is no man in your and I appeal to your Lordship, who has done so much tor the Church as Mr. Griffith. (flear. hear. from the Hi-hop and others.) My Lord, I do not speak without knowledge. For in my capacily as Lord Bute's agent, I can tell as much of Mr. Griffith's doiugs and exertions as most people, from the business I have had with him as con- nected with Lord Bute's estates, and I say it in his face, notwithstanding his youthful zeal, that the Church in this diocese has received the gieuteat benefit from his exertions." As the living of lerthyr is a valuale one, its well as the most important of any in Wales, we need not say that there were many candidates, anti some very influential ones. Lord Deiby gave it to lr. Griffiih from his public services only, Mr. Griffith being other- wise an utter stranger to the Premier. DEATH of MR. OWRS WILLIAMS.—Ihe death of Mr. Owen Williams, painter, and chorister at the Cathedral Church of Bangor, has cast a melancholy gloom and awakened the deep sympathies of all classes amongst the inhabitants of Bangor and its neighbourhood. The deceased, whilst engaged at his usuul occupation, on the 18th instant, fell from a scaffolding, when he sustained such serious internal injuries that ilvy caused his death on the following Sunday, in the 37th year of his age, leaving a widow and four children, the eldest of whom is 11 years of age, and the youngest four months, almost wholly unprovided for. Prematurely rut off in the p'ime of lite and in Ihe full possession of robust health, there are few persons moving in the hum- bier walk of life whose untimely los. could have created II greater blank or b entitled to the more generous sym- pathies of a whole community. Fiom his boyhood he I,ad zealously attached himself to a study of the science of music, and he had ultimately ittaknett the leadership of the Bangor Cathedral Choir, where his melodious voice which is now for ever silenced, was for many vear/listened to with great admiration. His Sundays were devotedly spent in punctually assisting at four Ser. in the Cathedral, and in conducting a Bible-class ■it the Ban"or National School; and at those musical assemblies, more particularly when the ends of religion or charity were to be promoted, he was ever ready witn his assistance, and entered warmly into the spuit and f-rvour of the promote. The forlorn condition of his widow and youthful family suggests this brier nutice of deitih, find ils primary object is to the mice of a generous public on their behalf. Ih6 Very Itev, the Dean of Bangor. who had known him from his childhood, has kindly consented to aid the committee by receiving donations, and by devising means of divetting their application in such rnnnner as may establish a fund, which might be rendered permaneutl) available tOIVald. their relief, A concert is to be given in aid of this fund at the National School-room, on Tuesduy evening, when Mies E. L. Williams (the original Welsh Nightin- gale) has kindly proffered her gratuitous services, as I aho has Mr. T. D. Morris, the celebrated harpist, and the members of the Bangor Cathedral Choir. TIIU NEW BISHOP or BANGOII.—The Queen having been pleasell to order a cmlg" ,tetire to pass the Greal Seal empowering the election of a Bishop to the vacant See of Bangor, the Dean and Chapter met at the Chapter UODIn, Bangor, on Wcdnesuny last, when James Colquhown Campbell, Clerk, M.A..

f CONVOCATION OF THE CLERGY.
f CONVOCATION OF THE CLERGY. The election of two Proctors for the Diocese of Bangor, to serve in Convocation, took place at the Cathedral Church of Bangor, on Wednesday morn- ing last, the Rev. Chancellor Trevor presiding. The following clergymen were also presentVery Rev. the Dean, Revds. J. V. Vincent. Jas. Williams, Archdeacons Jones and White, H. Owen, D.D., L. Futlie, D. Evans, M. Morgan. W. J, Poole, R. Brisco, J Parry Jones, J. Wynne Jones, J. Morgan, T. N. William., W. Morgan, P. C. Ellis, J. V. Vin- eellt. St. G. A. Williams, T. R. Ellis, H. Jone. E. Lewis. D. Thomas (Penmachno), J. Hichards, J. Owen, H. Richards, D. Thomas (Dwygyfylchi), R. Humphreys, J. Jones, S. R. Hughes. T. J. Williams, Henry Owen, J, Hoberts, J. B, G. Jones, J. Pughe, H. R. Hughes, H. H. Davies and J. S. Jones. The Court having been ituly opened, J. V. H. Williams. ERq, the Registrar, read the writ. The Rev. Chancellor Trevor, before proceeding to the business of the meeting, thought it necessary to muke afew remarks upon some peculiar circumstances connected with the mode adopted in convening that assembly. They were probably aware that the mun- date was received by the two Archdeacons, from the Archbishop, for the purpose of electing Proctors. The Archdeacon of Bangor thereupon sent circulars through all his deaneries, and as one of his rural deans he himself received one of them. That he considered a departure from the usual and immemo- rial custom of entrusting such a duty to the Bishop's Chancellor. He communicated with His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury upon the subject, who wrote to him to say that be had put the letter in the hands of Mr. Dyke, and that he should hay,, a. letter by the following post. He took that course not from mere peismial motives, but as return iiig- oiffcer- feel. ing that the validity of the return might ba ques- tioned—he thought it his duty at once to set the mattfr aright. (Cheers.) He received a reply from :'th. Dyke, acknowledging that it was a mistake, who, seeing that the See of Bangor was vacant, thought the right was vested in the Archdeacons, and was ig- norant of the practice. The mandate was then for- warded to him in the usual way. and withithere ceived a private letter from Dr. Tiavers Twiss, who observed that the same mistake occurred about a hundred years ago. Having read to the meeting a portion of that letter, the rev. gentleman said he im- mediately communicated' with the two Aichdeacons, requesting them not to act upon they had re- ceived they, in the moat kindly spirit, acceded to that request (Applause,) He hopdït _wot!ld no be considered as a personal matter, bnc simply and truly as he had before dec?red, a thing that affected the validity of the return. (Hear, hear.) It gave him great pleasure to see the attendance so. numer- ous that day, coming forwardUo elect perssns to re- present them in that body which was no longsr a mere formality but full of life and activity-not a pretence and a shadow which it had been. He had attonded Convocation last February, and there sat five hours for three days, together, and he could testify that those of them who came from distant provinces, re turned home much enlightelled"rpon what was fer- menting in the public mind. He lioped in the course of time it would'have power to act as well as to talw-, and promote the welfare of that CHurch, which they were bound in dnty to support. (Applause.) Archdeacon Jones read the following, received by- Canon Vincent, from the Rev. Dr; Williams, Prin- cipal of Jesus College, Oxford;- "My dear Mr. Vincent, Will ymt be good enou?t to express on my behalf, ta-the Clergy as- sembled for the election of Proctors at Bangor, the sense of gratitude that I shall always entertain towards them, for the honour which they have done me, in twice electing-ine to representthem in Con- vocation. Having ceased to reside in the Diocese, J do not seek a renewal of the trust, as I am fully aware that a Diocese is more nalirrally and reasonably repre- sented by a Clergyman who resides within its limits. "But I hope that I1 shall hear of your re-election with another colleague, and I am sure that the zeal and energy in convocation business, that 1 have so long witnessed on yoiLirToirt, will vemaiivunabftted. "f hope that my late1 constituents will allow me to offer, with my thanks for the confidence they have placed in ine, the assurance of my unaltered respect and regard, and that Imay express to yourself the pleasure with which I took upon the- unbroken harmony that marked our connection as Proctors for the same1 Diocese. Believe me most faithfully and sincerely, yonrs, CHARLES WII.LIAMS." Jesus College, Oxfordi May, 23rd. 185Y Mr. Eiinon Vincent." The Vary Rev. the Dean. in complimentary terms, proposed the Rev. J. V. Vincent, for re-ielection 03 one of the Proctors for the Diocese of Bangor. The Venerable Archdeacon White seconded the re-election of Mr. Vincent, who, he saUi had always evinced the deepest interest in the revival of the action of convocation, and had shewn the greatest energy, in everything) that was associated with the duties of a Proctor for the Diocese ,Alr. Vincent was then declared unanimously elected. The Rev. Jas. Williams, as one of the senior cler- gymen present, proposed the re-election at Dr. Williams. He would not do so without exptwsing the dttight and satisfaction he felt in witneasitg such a numerous assembly as he then saw before him.- He was old enough to recollect the apparitor going through the streets-of Bangor seeking for a sufficient number to elect two representatives-; but now, thank God, he had lived to see better days. Though the Convocation was not allowed to act, it had been most industrious in bringing before the assembly a num- her of subjects w-hich greatly affected the welfare of the Church. At first it was feared it might have been conducted, with a party feeling i but whatever differences might have arisen between the members, they had been expressed with-, Christian amenity, and entirely disarmed in that House. It was a matter of great importance that they should always send there good sensible men—men w.bo were can- did, and studied the interests and welfare of the Church, and who were capable of expressing their views, and those entertained by their constituents. He had great pleasure in proposing the re-election of his friend, Dr. Williams, (cheers.) who had so distinguished himself by the manner in which he had discussed a very important point, viz., the ad- mission of laymen into. Convocation. When that subject came to be examine and discllssed. his sneecli was almost conclusive ill settling the ques- tion, that it was quite impracticable. They could not possibly do bettvr than replace in hif hands, the trust which they had previously confided ii> him. The zeal, and the deep- learning which he possessed. and his freedom from all party ieenng. nig-aiy quali- fied him fur that office, With reference to the letter just read to them, he observed that he arao had cor- respondence with Dr. Williams, two or three words of which would shew the reason of what they had heard. He had left the diocese, in consequence of which he refrained from seeking the renewal" of that trust. Tht proceeded from his modesty; but notwithstanding, there was no reason why they should not ask him again to become their represen- taiive. He therefore proposed the Rev. Dr. Wil- liams, Principal of Jesus College, Hon. Canon of 13angor, and Hector of Clynnog. (Applause.) The Rev, Dr. OlVell seconded the re-election of Dr. Williams, and remarked, though there were very clever men in the diocese, he (Dr. Williams) was a tried man, and their gratitude was due to him. Rev- Mr. Briscoe inquired if Dr. Williams was eligible? Chancellor Trevor replied in the affirmative, and said they might propose any person in any part of the kingdom. No other candidate having been proposed, the Rev. Dr. Williams was unanimously elected. The Chancellor said they had elected one Proctor in his absence, who, though he could and did speak, they could not then hear him. lint one ot the proc- tors elected was present, and it would give them great pleasure to listen to any remark which he might make. The Hev. J. V. Vincent then rose and said-Mr. Chancellor, my Reverend Brethren and Friends,— I was going to say, it was my task-but such a word would have been a very innueent interpretation of my feelings, since it is to "e a great privilege to n turn you my walln thanks for electing me for the tlrrd time, as one of ynr Proctors to represent the Clergy of this Diocese in the Convocation of the Province of Canterbury. I cannot express to you the amount of my gratifieatioll at this renewed testimony of your confidence. It would be affectation in me to deny that I have attempted, however ineffectually, to do my duty in that olHce, which it was your pleasure that, I should, on two former occasions, fill-and it wou)dbeungratefutinme,nowthitttagMnam honoured with this present mark of your approval, did I not determine, if health and strength are vouch- safed to me, to justify by increased efforts, the choice which you have so kindly made this day. (Cheers.) I must say with regard to the duties 1 may be called upon to perform, that my responstbihtteswtti be greatly diminished by the able assistance of the gentleman, whom you have so wisely chosen as my colleague. I tru!y rejoice, that I again have the privilege of being ass"cia!ed with him, because he has already shewn how weU-quahhed ho is to give wise council in the deliberations of the House of Convocation. An allusion bps been made by the rev. gentleman who proposed him to a very remark- able speech, which he delivered on one of the most important questions mooted by Convocation, namely, the introduction of the Laity directly into that House. The proposition was made in a most able manner by a Hev. Canon, whose character, zeal, and amiable ?ualities, stand deservedly high in the estimation of his brethren; and such were the arguments used in advocacy of that proposition,-that it seemed doubt- ,d v 0"'cler it might not be adopted my rev. friend has said that Dr. Charles Williams's sppech was almost conclusive in settling the question negatively j I may go a step further and say that it was so thoroughly conclusive, as to set the question, under present circumstances, comn)ete)y at rest. I may call that speech, as far as tbe existence and the in- creasing popularity of Convocation are concerned, one of the most conservative ever delivered; (ap- plause) becanse I believe had the motion, to which it was antagonistic been carried, the very existence of Convocaton would have been endangered, for it would have been a virtual ignoring of Parliament, and would have been nothing less than a direct vio- lation of the constitution of the realm. It is much to be regretted that the proceedings and interest- ing deliberations of Convocation are not more generally, indeed, universally known. The pub- lic papers briefly notice them, but not in a man- ner at all adequate to the importance of the sub. jects discussed. Were the reasons pro and con re- ported at large on various subjects relating to the welfare of the Church, no doubt the best results would enotte, and the question would not so often be asked, 11 What are you doing in Convocation ?" The most valuable and interesting reports which have been produced there, were there only facilities given for their perusal, would give a sufficient answer to this very common question. My late, and I am glad now to say present, colleague, referred at the last election, with much regret, to the want of funds to diffuse more generally information respecting those subjects brought before and deliberated upon in Convocation. This want is still to be lamented, and, it is to be hoped, wrll be supplied by Churchmen but it would be ungrateful not to allude to the efforts made by one benevolent individual to supply this desideratum, I need scarcely name, in this assem- bly, the name of the Chairman of the Convocation Society, Mr. Hoare (cheers)1, than whom there does not live a truer son of the Church, one more entirely free from party spirit, or more entirely imbued with that of Christian charity. The zeal and liberality, and: perseverance of that most Christian gentleman, I have not thought it out of plhce to mention here. But although the direct admission of the laity into Convocation was negatived on a constitutional prin- ciples the opinion as to the necessity of more facile opportunities for consultation between the clergy and laity on practical Church matters lias been graduallv and surely gaining ground. This is clear from the fact that the plan which has been proposed for esta- blishing conjoint meetings of the elergy and laity in Rural Deaneries has been very generally accepted, and objected to by none of the Right Rev. Members of the Upper Hous« of the Convocation of this Pro- vince and it is not improbable that scheme may be carried out in Archdeaconries, and, perhaps, ulti- mately in Dioceses. I should have wished to make some furtber remarks did time allow, but I am warned, ihat it might be inconvenient to those of my reverend brethren, who are dependent upon the train for their- conveyance home. I snail therefore briefly conclude by repeating to you my, most grate- ful thanks for the kind manner in which, you have entrusted to me the honour of representing you in Convocation. (A:pplause.) Archdeacon Jones, seconded by Archdeacon White proposed' a V"te of thank to the Chairman, w^ich was acknowledged, and the mectfn? termin- ?d. _——————?————- ate ■—;
IFRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE…
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE BANGOR ANIt CARNARVON LINE. A great deal of exeitement was caused by the intelli- gence brought in by the six o'clock train on Tuesday last, of a fatal accident at Griffith's Crossing, .near this town, by which (he station master there, Mr. iV. Anwyl, and a poor old woowirj lost their lives-the particulars of which will be seen in the following report of the in- quest; A very general regret was felt for the melan- choly end of Mr. Wm. Anwyl, who so nobly lost his life in his endeavours to save that of the poor old woman- H ugh Thomas R*vies Griiffth, Esq., Craig yr H»len, deposed that he was a passenger from Menai- Bridge in the train in question. On approaching Griffith's Crossing, and when, so. near as lie could tell, the train was opposite Llanfair Lodge—heard the whistle. Imme- diately afterwards the speed of the train slackened as if the break btid been applied. The train passed the station, butstopped about 2i>0-y*rds beyond. Witness then found that Anwyl and the female had been killeil4. The guard, engine driver, and stoker were psrfectly sober. Mrs, Anwyl, wife of the deceaoed VVrn. Anwyl, ata tion-maeter, said-Abotit ID minutes before the time for the arrival of the train I went out on the pUtform; and seeing there w.. no ..ne there to go by the train, ltmned the signal hoard in such a way as to itidioate to the driver af the train that it was to pass without stopping. My husband was than in the house standing by the window, and saw me turn the board. I retorned to the hous." aa,1 my !tuw.nd ..i y.?if wem in %vh? we heard the train approacbing. At the same time-, we saw a female comiag- throagb the foot ifate on to the railway.from the post road. My husband ■ rushed' out, and called to her But to jitose, but she persisted. I fol- lowed Ilim, but the train tame up, and i after it had passed, I-found that my husband and the female were killed. The litll. gate .ght to have been looked pre. vious to train tie, but it was not looked on this occa- sion. It was my husbaad's duty to lock it. Wm. Thomas—t aln son of. Thosv Thomas,. Llanfair Smithy. Was standing opposite the smithy, and within sight of the platform, just before the ari-ival, of the train in question. Saw the train on the Bangor side of tha ,tation, and I heard the whisllo an its apfoach, and at the same ti? &aw the female coming through the foot gateway tovards the line. Anwyl rushed out of the house towards the woman. The train then came up, but I could, not see whether they were run over or not. I ran to the station after the train had passed, and found both parties killed. Heard the whistle when the train was- between Llanfair Lodge and the station. Job. Gamett, driver of the 8ngin.deposed, that the guard had signalled him before reaching the board marked with the words li Shut of fsteiim," that there was no passenger to go dowa at Griffith's Crossing, and on coming up to that board, he saw the signal board at the station turned sideways, indicating that there was no passenger to go on, and that, iherefore, the train was to pass on without stopping. On nearing the sta- tion, however, he saw a female walking at a brisk pace along. the post road, as if she intended going by the I rain. Saw her turn in at the foot-passenger gate, where- upon I instantly used the whistle. We were then thirty or forty yards from the station. She walked upto the rail, where ohe paused a few momenlS to look at the en. gine coming up, and: then, as if taking second thoughts, she made a rush to cross. Saw nothing of her after- wards until the train was stopped. It was too late to apply the break with effect, when I saw her start to cross the line. Thos. Morgan, fireman, heard the whistle. Saw the female coming up and attempting to cross the line in doing so, she fell. Saw Anwyl standing on the station side uf the tails, leaning forward and endeavouriDg to draw the female over, but the train came up and knocked him down. Applied the break slightly, when steam was shut off, iiiid increased the pressure on the break, when he saw the woman coming Ihrough the gate, but it was too late and if he had applied all the power at hi. command, he could not have stopped the traiu before it passed the station. John Stretton said-l am inspector of police on the Chester and Holyhead railway. Since the month of June, 1854, trains are not to stop itt Griffith's Crossing St.tion unless there is a passenger to go down or to be taken lip. In caso there was a passenger to go on, it was the duty of the station masler to exhibit a r-d flag. If there were none, he should exhibit a white flag. The signal board referred to, is not recognised by the company, but was a contrivance of the station master for his own convenience, un the otl1er nault, it is the duty of the guard (coming from Bangor,) some- where between Foit Dinorwic and Llanfair Lodge, to signal the engine driver whether there is a passenger to go down or not at Griffith's Crossing, by exhibiting a white or red flag, as the case may be. The side gate ought to have beAn locked previous to the arrival oftrtiin, Thomas Ellis, the guaid of the train, said he saw nothing of the accident unlilthe train came to a stand- still. Signalled the engine,driver at the usual plice, that there was no passenger to go down at Griffiths' Crossing. Heard the whistle before the train came to the station. The Coroner pointed out that if there had been neg- lect or mistake anywhere in this unfortunate transac. tion, it was attributable to the deceased (Anwyl). In all human probability had he locked the gate, the acci- dent would not have occurred. The circumstance shewed how careful officials and all others should be, strictly to observe regulations made to prevent acci- dents. The Jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death,"

GLAN OGWEN.I
GLAN OGWEN. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. I Sjr The noise and bustle of election are over and now i beg leave to propose to the Bangorians a fresh subject, and one of almost equal imporlance,-namely, the toll-bar between Bangor and Capel Curig. The tolls are higher, a. you are well aware, on that part of Ihe road, than any other from Holyhead to Shrewsbury. We in Bethesda, have done our utmost in petitioning the Commissioners of Woods and Forest., to reduce the toil., but I believe Bangor has done nothing so, come out a. men, and let us join hand and heart in the Iyork-a strong pull-a good pull-and a pull altogether —for union is strength. [ Glan Ogwen. CORRESPONDENT.
GLAN OUWEN.
GLAN OUWEN. To the Editor ofthe North Wales Chronicle. Sir.-Wales has been a country of great attraction at all limes to strangers. Its splendid scenery-its lovely hilitt and vales-ifs beautiful lakes, which are noted for their trout,-all induce thousands yearly to come and pay a visit to Cymrn but if the tourist deeiret, to see every place of importance and beauty, he must be pro- vided with a guide. Lately, I have seen two or three gui<)et>, one published by Blackie and Son, (price 3^6d )) and in describing the country from Bangor to the Quar- ries, it yives a full account of Llandegai (a small but beotiful fillage within] 4 mile of Bangor), and then goes on to St. Ann's chapel. What has become of Glan Ogwen 1 it is never mentioned every tourist as he passes through, is quite surprised that such a large place is left oot, so that perhaps it would not be amiss if I gave a short account of Glan Ogwen. Glan Ogwen is situated on the banks of the river Ogwer) five miles from Bangor, and close to the celebrated Penrhyn Slate Quarries. It is one of the most rapidly-increasing and thriving town? in the Principality for, about 20 years ago, there were only four houses, whereas now it con- tains a population of about 5,000, with- ile shops, brisk trade, and markets. During Ihe past year, upwards of 300 new dwelling-houses have been erected, in additiou to many improvements made by the Local Board of Commissioners. Ah the upper part of this town may be seen a bettutiful, churel), which the Hon. Colonel Pennant built, and near it a national school, where about 230 children are instructed, and which is liberally supported by the same lion, gentleman. On the right hand side, is a line of hoaftto, called Ogwen Ter- race, in which there are ]9' roeerB' and drapers' shops, beside other large shops- in the lower part of the town. The principal hotels are the Douglas Arms, Queen's Head, and Victoria. A-t the first, viz., Douglas Arms, wHich is close on the banks of the river ogweii, at the upper part 01 the town, the tourist will find excellent accommodation, fitted with hot,.coUt, and shower baths, and it is a gieat resort of anglers, being the nearest hotel to the celebrated and strictly-preserved Lake Ogwenr where the proprietor has the privilege of having boats for angling only. It would! give great satisfaction to the inhabitants of Glan Ogwen, if a short account, as- above,.should be inserted in the aforesaid Guide, and' further publicity be given it? through means of your valuable paper. I am, Sir, your's obediently, ESWIEBIENCIS. (We recommend to the Tourist Martin's Week's Wanderings in Wales."]—ED. N.W.C.
